BENNY HINN's MESSAGE TO TB JOSHUA: ...Pastor, keep up the good work and preach the Gospel like you do so powerfully and teach God's
precious Word and I would love to someday meet you and fellowship with you. You know, we men of God need to come together and I would
most certainly accept an invitation from Pastor Joshua to come to Nigeria. I've been to that country of course a number of times when
I used to come preach for Benson Idahosa and I've preached for other great men of course, and we've had our own crusade there in Lagos
but with pleasure, of course. Thank you, thank you. I pray the Lord will keep using you and blessing you, dear Pastor Joshua and may
the Lord anoint you BIG TIME in Jesus' name. Amen.... Meer...

I AM AN ALTAR BOY IN TB JOSHUA’S CHURCH

Golden Eaglets
striker Sani Shehu Emmanuel rose from the depths of obscurity to worldwide recognition when he came off the bench to score five goals
and helped his team to second place at the just concluded U-17 World Cup.
In this interview with MIKE NDIDI, Emmanuel narrates his story from the squalor of a one-room apartment to life as an altar boy in
Prophet T.B Joshua’s church and now, on the verge of a major breakthrough in professional football.
He regrets the death of his mother but remains grateful to the Synagogue Church of All Nations where he has found home and is
desperate to help other kids out of poverty as soon as he makes it big in his chosen career.

THERE has been so
much controversy surrounding Nigerian prophet TB Joshua, a man renowned world over yet most vilified over for his miracle healing
services and predictions. The controversies have been raging ever since TB Joshua's ministry stormed into the public domain bringing
into question the legitimacy of his works. In talking about legitimacy, I am referring to the standards as set forth in the
scriptures, which would help us, identify a genuine prophet. Who then is TB Joshua?

TB Joshua whose full names are Temitope Balogun Joshua was born on June 12, 1963, in a village called Arigidi, in Ikare Akoko, Ondo
State of Nigeria. He is married to Evelyn and has four children. TB Joshua, the founder and pastor of the Synagogue Church of All
Nations is said to have sparked controversy starting with his mysterious birth. He allegedly remained in his mother's womb for 15
months before he was born. He attended primary school at St Steven Anglican school from 1971-1977, but failed to complete one year of
secondary school. But as he was growing up, he was known as a “small pastor” because of his love for the Bible and ability to
predict things to come in his community. He further gained reputation for spiritual prowess after confronting and disarming a madman
who was wielding a machete in the school premises. While in school he was the leader of a scripture union.

When Joshua started the Synagogue Church of All Nations in 1987, he just had a handful of members but since then the church has grown
far beyond the shores of Nigeria. More than 15,000 members attend the weekly Sunday service. Numerous videos have been produced
documenting the healing of incurable sickness, cancer, paralysis, AIDS, showing people's conditions before, during and after prayer.
Medical doctors have examined the patients before and after and have testified to a supernatural activity beyond medical science. TB
Joshua does not even claim to be healer but says, “I am just God's servant”.....Read more...

17-7-2009 - The TB Joshua Fanclub.wordpress.comMeeting Ghana President Mills and US President Barack ObamaObama’s Speech That Cut To
The Heart…
by thetbjoshuafanclub
President Barack Obama’s recent visit to Ghana continues to ignite interest in the thriving West-African country, with various
reasons given as the source of their commendable success in a continent fraught with corruption and electoral violence. Some point to
President Mills relationship wtih Prophet TB Joshua as a veritable factor in the Ghanaian success story…

13 June 2009 - www.modernghana.com/...tb-joshuas-encounter-with-mko-abiola.htmlINTERVIEW: TB Joshua's encounter with M.K.O. AbiolaJune 12th will ever be printed in the minds of so many Nigerians as the day that politics and
democracy was beaten by rivalry, jealousy and opinion. It's all about a man, known as M.K.O. Abiola who won the election hands down,
but never spent one day as the president. In 1992, M.K.O. met a strange man, known as T.B. Joshua who prophesied the outcome of the
coming presidential election... Read more...

T.B. Joshua is a humanitarian,
philanthropist, who, sincerely to be said, is one who spends less on himself and more on others. He has the interest and welfare of
others in mind more than himself. This is very clear to see upon a brief assessment of his ministry and activities.
He is the pastor of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations situated in the suburb of Ikotun Egbe in the
outskirts of cosmopolitan Lagos, Nigeria. The SCOAN is a growing ministry that is attracting attention nationally and internationally.
What makes T.B. Joshua a topic of much conversation in all spheres is reports of the happenings at The SCOAN, which include miraculous
healing, deliverance and accurate prophetic messages. Certainly a justifiable cause for stir, debate and deliberation…
Check out the church website www.scoan.org and the website for his 24 hour tv station Emmanuel TV www.emmanuel.tv. A major part of the ministry of T.B. Joshua and The SCOAN is supporting the needy and less privileged.
Those benefiting include widows, widowers, orphans, students, little people, the elderly and the youth. My People FC is just a small
part of the charitable activities of TB Joshua and the Emmanuel TV Team.
To be continued…

He is the founder of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations, and an unlikely guest on a football pitch. Yet Pastor TB Joshua created a
surprise of some sort when he floated a soccer team recently. Complete Sports Saturday's DAVID MESHIOYE in this interview tries to
unravel the reason behind this, from the benevolent man of God.

You know, as a believer, you must use all proper means to help our youths in this country. They are the ones who feel the pain of the
poor economy today. It is important to use sports to stop our youths engaging in social vices.....Read more...

A creature out of this world, a weird man in white suit appeared in a church in Lagos. An early morning
rain and chill amplified his spooky presence. Bearded like Nebuchadnezzar and dressed in tailcoat like Don Juan and an English gentry,
Professor Chukwudi Nathan Okeakpu sneaked into The Synagogue Church of All Nations in the Ikotun area of Lagos and tried to blow up
the place but failed. The self-styled "professor", occult master, astrologer extraordinaire, grand anti-Christ and Satan’s
deputy got converted instead. Pitted before a superior force, he buckled and begged for forgiveness. After seeing the light, he
confessed his sordid existence...Read more...

NewswatchLife in the Occult WorldWritten by Chris Ajaero

Life in the Occult World
Chukwudi Nathan Okakpu, an occult grandmaster, tells the story of his life in an occult world from where he operated for 32 years

For 32 years, Chukwudi Nathan Okakpu, an occult grandmaster from Ogbeakpu Osile, Ogbunike in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra
State, wielded immense mystical powers. From his mystic base and shrine called Arobinagu Igwedo located in Ogbeakpu Osile, Okakpu used
astral projections to influence human affairs both negatively and positively. But that is now history.

He told Newswatch that as a great occultist, he had a lot of adherents and used his mystic base to endorse the Antichrist. But a few
years ago, he was in a trance where the Holy Spirit appeared to him and asked him why he chose to use mystical powers to serve as a
satanic agent. Besides, as an occultist, Okakpu was constantly into astrological dry fasting to retain his mystical powers and this
got his intestines entangled. Consequently, for 17 years, he found it difficult to eat solid food and this affected his health.

Worried by the deteriorating condition of his health which his mystic powers could not cure and the frequent appearance of the Holy
Spirit in his dreams, Okakpu decided to seek deliverance from the kingdom of darkness. He was then directed in the spirit to go to the
Synagogue Church of All Nations, Ikotun, Lagos so that he would be delivered by T.B. Joshua, general overseer of the church. On
Sunday, March 22, Okakpu visited the Synagogue as directed in the spirit where he was delivered by Joshua. Since his deliverance, he
now eats almost seven times daily.

After his deliverance, he was instructed by Joshua to go to his mystic base in Ogbeakpu Osile to bring all the mystical objects he had
used for occultic practices including two black and red garments, one mystical rope, a red mystical crown and a magnetic pot. He
complied. Accompanied by evangelists of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Okakpu went to the mystic base where he discovered that
the mystical snakes he kept there had strangely disappeared after his deliverance.

However, he still found intact the garments, rope, crown, and pot which he brought to the church on Sunday, March 29. He came into the
church with the mystical objects wearing long beard and decked in the full regalia of an occult grandmaster. He then made confessional
statements concerning how he had functioned as an occult grandmaster in the past 32 years.

He claimed that he belongs to the highest grade of occultists known as the extraordinary and the power he had is beyond human
explanation. He said: “It is inborn. I started early in life to practise as a spiritualist... I am gifted with both positive and
negative powers. I have used the power positively to make a lot of people become great in life. I have produced governors, top
military officers, politicians and wealthy businessmen.”

Prophet T. B. (Temitope Balogun) Joshua needs no introduction. Everybody has his or her reason for liking or hating the
controversial founder of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, a Christian religion with a growing fanatical following. T.B. Joshua,
the religious leader whom many evangelical church leaders would not want to be associated with, because they believe he should not be
in the fold of real born again Christians.

Of recent, Prophet Joshua has been the butt of renunciations and denunciations by some leading men of God in Nigeria, who questioned
his authority and his authenticity as a man of God. Without any doubt, Joshua is an enigma wrapped in controversy. And it was our
desire to unwrap this enigma that took us to The Synagogue, tucked away around the Ejigbo and Egbe axis of Lagos.

There we found a huge, unique Cathedral, the type that has not been seen anywhere in the world. Even the legendary King Solomon would
marvel at this Temple of God, built by Nigerians, “under the inspiration of God” as we were told.
On our journey of discovery, our family members and even our colleagues were worried about our going to interview T.B. Joshua. So much
was their worry that they had to fast and support us with prayers and spiritual “casting and binding.” To them, it was like
entering a spiritual lion’s den. But we were not deterred. After all, journalism is all about adventure. It is about venturing into
the unknown and to report it.

There to welcome us at The Synagogue on Wednesday last week was a Briton, who serves as the church’s public relations officer. There
were so many white faces everywhere, giving backing to the claim that it is an international church. The young man took us on an
excursion inside the church that looked like a huge Roman amphitheatre with pews, carpets, altar and audio-visual facilities that
combine to give a colourful and mystical ambience to the church. We visited the church’s Emmanuel TV studio, which broadcasts
religious programmes around the world. There were all kinds of studio - for recording and making CDs, audio studios and photo studios.
In every studio you saw workers behind computers busy editing films or whatever.

After the tour, we were made to watch a short documentary featuring the newly elected President of Ghana paying tribute to God and to
T.B. Joshua for helping him to win the election in Ghana. For 30 minutes or more, we watched the Ghanaian President, Prof.
Attah-Mills, worshipping at The Synagogue and even going to the altar to share his testimony about how God used T.B. Joshua to make
him win the election in Ghana. He told the congregation about how accurately Joshua prophesied that there would be a tie in the
Ghanaian election that would drag into January, but eventually he would win. And he won.

Around Joshua’s living room were pictures of Presidents, heads of state, who either met the prophet or came to worship in The
Synagogue. There is the picture of General Andre Kolingba, former President of the Central African Republic (who visited in 2003),
Frederick Chiluba, former President of Zambia (who visited in 2001), Prof Pascal Lissouba, former President of Democratic Republic of
Congo (who visited in 2006), and Sir Orville Turnquest, former Governor General of The Bahamas whom Joshua visited in 2001. Then there
is Omar Bongo, the President of Gabon who visited The Synagogue in 2008.

After an hour of the preliminaries, T.B. Joshua sauntered in to welcome us. He was dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts. He looked
amiable. As we started the interview, he grabbed the tape recorder from us and spoke into it directly as we fired our questions at
him. It was his own way of ensuring clarity in recording. Our approach was to get something biographical or autobiographical. This is
Prophet T.B. Joshua’s memoirs, in his own words, with a little editing here and there. T.B. Joshua, as you have never heard or read
anywhere.....

Heads of states, mostly from Africa, at different times have jettisoned protocols and dashed in to see
a pastor in a Lagos suburb. They go to him to kneel, pray, learn and “seek the face of God”.
Some even dispatched presidential jets to bring him to pray for them, their households and country at large.
Taciturn and press shy, Prophet T.B. Joshua, General Overseer of Synagogue, the Church of All Nations,
reluctantly spoke to Sunday Sun on his chain of visiting presidents. “It’s all for internal renovation. Those who are rich in
every sense of the word understand that life is a learning process. It never stops’ he said.
Notable heads of states and leaders who throng the church include President Oma Bongo of Gabon, Frederick
Chiluba of Zambia, King Goodwill Zwetithini, the Zulu King of South Africa.
Others include the former President of Congo Brazzaville, Professor Pascal Lissonba and General Andre Kolimba.
The just sworn-in President of Ghana, Professor John Evans Atta Mills has added his name to the list. Barely
four days after being sworn-in Mills and his Vice, John D. Mahama, attended a thanksgiving service at Synagogue.
In the course of the service, President Atta Mills spoke and described Pastor Joshua as his mentor. According
to him, the pastor didn’t only predict his victory but taught him humility, the joy of reaching out to the less privileged and
abiding faith in God.
“He’s a professor of law. We learn from each other. When you constantly strive to improve, you build character,” Pastor Joshua
said.
Last Friday, the National Association of Nigerian Students, (NANS) added another feather to his cap.
The executives of the association showered praises on him. Its Public Relations Officer, Comrade Agbabiaka Ahmed described him as an
outstanding model for the growth and development of education in the country.
The students, Sunday Sun learnt, decided to honour the Pastor for his long list of scholarships and giving
succour to poor Nigerian students. Late last year, the Federal Government bestowed a prestigious national honour Officer of the
Federal Republic on him.

The Synagogue of All Nations routinely plays host to a diverse range of foreign leaders.

Prophet T.B. Joshua has many highly placed foreign friends, among them presidents, ministers and kings. In 2007, King Godwill
Zwelithini of the Zulus from South Africa visited Joshua. He brought his daughter, Princess Sibusile Zulu, suffering from partial
epilepsy. A year before that, King Moloto Solomon of the Limpopo Kingdom, South Africa, visited the Synagogue seeking a breakthrough
for his kingdom. He stayed for over a week.

In 1999, Frederick Chiluba, who was then President of Zambia, called on Joshua in his church, seeking solution to an undisclosed
ailment. President Omar Bongo of Gabon was, also, in the Synagogue. The cause of his visit was not revealed to the public.

Others who, one time or the other, visited Joshua were Professor Pasal Lissouba, one-time President of Congo Brazaville, and Justice
Ralph A. Beisner from New York. Jacob Westhuizen, a South African rugby player, also called at the Synagogue in search of healing for
a ligament injury.

Joshua also reconciled the families of Yormie Johnson, a warlord who killed former Liberian President Samuel Doe, and that of the man
he killed. Johnson later became a senator in that country.

Among all these people, however, Mills attraction to Joshua was political. Before the nomination, TheNEWS gathered that Mills met with
Joshua, asking whether he should contest, after losing twice. “He said to me, this is my time but there would be hindrances and
hurdles on the way,” Mills said.

Mills added that he had been a member of the Synagogue for over 10 years and that the “message of T.B. Joshua was for my spiritual
fortification”.

The Ghanaian Vice President, John D. Mahama, who was also at the thanksgiving, confessed that what he saw was wondrous. “I have been
inspired in terms of how you must consolidate the spiritual in order to achieve success in the physical,” he said.

If this calibre of friends is anything to go by, The Synagogue of All Nations may just continue to attract the high and mighty
globally the way nectar does a swarm of bees.

The Ghanian new President, Professor John Attah-Mills has assured his people of judicious use of the
country’s resources to develop the country, promising that, “the wealth and resources of Ghana, both natural and human will be
used to build and develop Ghana’s economy.”

The President, who made the
declaration yesterday at the Synagogue Church, Ikotun Lagos informed that his visit to the church was to seek spiritual guidance for
the presidential duties put squarely on his shoulders by the Almighty God through the good people of Ghana, asserting that, “the
prayer to succeed is not for me alone but for mother Ghana and the generality of the people of Ghana.

“I am not a stranger in Nigeria. I have known the man of God Prophet T. B. Joshua for over 10 years. He and all members of his
church had been praying for us before, during and after the election,” Attah-Mills disclosed, adding that his presence at his church
was to seek for further prayers for, “peace, growth, progress and stability of mother Ghana.”

While admitting that, “as human being, the body is weak,” and prone to mistakes, the newly inaugurated President however assured
that, “the soul is willing and ready,” saying Prophet Joshua should keep on asking questions whenever he observed anything
because, according to him, only God is perfect.

Going down the memory lane, the Ghanian President disclosed the
Joshua had predicted his victory ahead of the election, saying, but when he prophesized that the election would run to three balloting
and that the results would finally be declared in January, 2009, “I was sceptical and kept that in my mind.”
“Now that his prophesy has come to pass, I have come back for more prayer to God to bless Ghana and strengthen me to be able to
discharge my responsibilities to the satisfaction of my people,” he stated, praying God, “the all-knowing to give wisdom and big
heart to play the role He has chosen for me.”

While soliciting his people’s support, the President said: “I am still the same John Attah-Mills. We are all the same people.
Whatever happens, let us just give glory to God. And with what has happened in Ghana, many people will surely move closer to God,”
he concluded.
While blessing him, Prophet Joshua invoked “the Spirit of Finisher to strengthen you to finished the job you have just started and
all what you have promised.”

Pastor T.B. Joshua is one of the Heaven sent instruments to come to the rescue of students that do not have enough funds to keep them
in school. He (Pastor T.B. Joshua) gave more than a thousand students full scholarship and some of them are now graduates with a first
degree, two out of the thousands are Abraham Amos, a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria with a degree in Mass communication
and Ogunleye Oladele a graduate of Adekunle Ajasin University with a degree in sociology. We encourage people that have to give.

Opvallend op de weblog van Lee Grady is het grote aantal steunbetuigingen die tegelijk vaak zeer anti-charismatische zijn. Blijkbaar
durft niemand in dit klimaat nog tegen hem in te gaan, want ik vond tussen de 100 reacties slechts deze ene kernachtige
tegen-reactie: Regarding
Joshua, I have visited there with a group of pastors and evangelists. We believe that we do have a degree of discernment but our
conclusions were different from Lees. Lee says only two things:
1/People were like zombies - I would suggest that it was tiredness. I don't feel all that chipper myself with
little sleep. Some services at the synagogue used to go for up to 28 hours straight. Sundays were from 6am receiving the sick and
ending at 8pm.
2/ The second thing was that lee felt that he saw unusual practices that he labelled witchcraft. Well, Lee
has the right to feel any way he wants to but it doesn't make him correct. This is not proof. Joshua has been going for quite a few
years now and where is the evidence of all these terrible things that Lee accuses him of? He has stood the test of time. When I saw
this story I thought maybe he had finally coughed up some real facts. Where are the scandals involving Joshua? There are none. Again,
Joshua's big critic in the States -Joseph Thompson? sat happily under the leadership and authority of Ted Haggard. He was on staff
there. Some discernment. Read

Sept. 4, 2008 - www.tribune.com...Synagogue church empowers the disabled
The Synagogue Church of all Nations recently donated money and foodstuff to some underprivileged disabled
persons as a way of empowering them for life.Bilikis Balogun, who was at the occasion, reports.

In line with its principle of making life better for the less-privileged in the society, the Synagogue Church
of all Nations recently donated gift items and cash worth over N 10million to physically challenged people across the country.

The goodwill gesture, which is one of the many series the church engages in through its General Overseer,
Prophet T.B Joshua, takes place twice every two months, when the church gives financial assistance and bags of rice and other welfare
materials to the disabled persons.

August 29, 2008 - T.B. Joshuahttp://naijablog.blogspot.com I was delighted to see T.B. Joshua on local TV
this evening. I was preparing for some old fashioned entertainment from the pastor's pastor.
You might have seen the Channel 4 doc from a few years ago, where Dr Robert Beckford met with Pastor Joshua and was
just a little disturbed by the encounter. Beckford, a brainy Christian theologian, was not persuaded that what he saw had any
relationship to Christianity.
T.B. Joshua claims to be able to cure anything - including death (start from 5.30 in). Go to YouTube, type in his
name, sit back and marvel at his spiritual powers. His church has people from all over the world in attendance. They can't all be
wrong can they?
Despite his mangled English, I must say he made a lot more sense than the other local televangelists. Read more...

August 27, 2008 - The
Mirrorhttp://petalscell.blogspot.com/2008/08/mirror.htmlLately I was
prompted to read Prophet T B Joshua's book entitled 'The Mirror', when a friend I know from Tanglin Fellowship asked me whether I had
the book. Indeed I had it but I had not yet read it. I had not been drawn to it before, and I had been spending my time reading many
other books.
So curious, I picked the book up and began to read...
The book is about who TB Joshua (and rightly so) calls God's generals; Abraham, Joseph, Joshua, Daniel, Stephen just to mention a few.
I found the book fascinating because of the many new insights and gems it contained. Here is one such gem.
In ACTS 3:1-8, Peter and John meet the crippled man at the temple gate called Beautiful who was begging from
those entering the temple courts. Peter looked straight at him, as did John and Peter said 'Look at us'. The man looked at them
expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said,'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you' (and boy did they
have something to give to him!). Peter said,' In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth walk'. The man received his miracle and he stood
up and walked!
And here is the gem. Like this man, we may have areas in our life that are crippled. And Jesus can 'heal' us
in these areas.
Therefore I pray for each person who reads this, for every area of your life that is crippled, whether
family, or financial situation, or health, or work, or marriage or blessings and anything else, I speak to each of them, 'Walk! Walk
in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Anything in any area of your life that has stopped - walk in Jesus name! Move... in Jesus'
mighty name!

June 5, 2008 - Who is TB Joshua?
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_is_TB_Joshua

TB Joshua is an anointed man of God, based in Lagos, Nigeria. He is the pastor of The Synagogue, Church
Of All Nations and founder of Emmanuel TV.

According to his biography on The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations website, TB Joshua was in a trance for three consecutive days when
he received his calling. He said concerning the experience, "I heard a voice saying, 'I am your God; I am giving you a divine
commission to go and carry out the work of the Heavenly Father... I would show you the wonderful ways I would reveal myself through
you, in teaching, preaching, miracles, signs and wonders for the salvation of souls".

He started his church with eight members, prophetically calling it 'The Synagogue Church Of All Nations' and today, the church has a
membership of countless thousands, including people from all nations of the world. Every week, thousands of people come to the church
from all over the world to receive healing, and there is incredible DOCUMENTED healing before, during and afterwards for every kind of
sickness and disease, ranging from HIV/ AIDs to cancer and total body paralysis.

His Sunday services are broadcast LIVE every week on Emmanuel TV (www.emmanuel.tv), where there are live prophecies, deliverances and
miracles for the whole world to see! Remarkable miracles such as instant baby deliveries, wheel chair bound cripples walking and the
demon possessed delivered can be seen live and direct. There are also amazing testimonies of people receiving healing as they are
watching Emmanuel TV in thier homes!

Another Ministry is the humanitarian arm of TB Joshua's ministry. He has programs helping the widows, dwarves, elderly and destitute,
supporting thier welfare with money, foodas well as giving opportunity for youths to learn and develop practical skills and former
armed robbers and prostitutes to receive reformation on the church premises.

In everything, TB Joshua ascribes all glory to God and never attributes the amazing miracles to himself. He is known as a man of
simplicity, humility and generosity - living in total obedience to God.

Okt. 2007 - www.powerset.com/explore/semhtml/T.B._Joshua
(Een 'schaduw'wikipedia met niet geaccepteerde informatie) T.B. Joshua, full name Temitope Balogun Joshua (Ondo, June 12, 1963) is a
controversial [Nigerian] Christian minister with a powerful healing ministry. He does not claim to heal but says he knows the healer -
Jesus Christ. In the 90's he became known in the international Pentecostal scene for his alleged healings during services in his
church in Lagos; The synagogue, Church of all Nations. His church has been visited by curious and sceptic believers from all over the
world.
T.b Joshua is one of the humblest man the christian church has ever seen. He does not only claim to heal the
sick but knows the healer - Jesus Christ and has medical proof of those healed. T.B Joshua has a tremendous and infallible prophetic
office that has been proven and continue to be proven - direct individual prophecies and international prophecies that have come to
pass after he mentioned them under the unction of the Holy Spirit. Though he faces a lot of critisism from ither pastors, he has
remained calm and the work of Jesus Christ has continued to grow to such levels that has attracted head of states, kings and
personalities from many nations and from as far as United States Of America
Practice
T.B. Joshua is a man of uncompromising holiness and exposes a power so great that can never be compared to any known man of God on
earth today. Miracles, signs and wonders are the order of the day in his church with videos of him raising the dead, praying for
instant birth miracles for all those with baby delivery problems, cancer, open wounds, wheelchair bound and other many ailments
available for all to see. Many whites and blacks from outside Nigeria go to his church in search of Miracles and are never
disappointed. The main other streangth he has is that of Prophecy which is too direct that he seems to be more up to date than
tomorrow's newspaper. Death of people and happenings around the world are mentioned with accruracy way before they happen and are
aired live before they happen so people can have proof when they happen. Miracle seakers are also asked to bring their medical papers
sio that there will be proof after the healing. He holds services every Sunday at his church, for which thousands of people start
queueing as early as 4 a.m. Also he runs an evangelistic satellite T.V.-Station known as Emmanuel TV. Many people come to him with
open wounds and other diseases and leave healed. Some wounds literally dissappear as he prays and all this in full view of the camera
and thousands of people who attend his emergency section which is the equivalence of Healing Line.
His hours vary for he claims to only do things strictly at the directions of the Holy Spirit. His other streangth
lies in his humanitarian efforts around the world with hundreds upon hundreds of widows, old people, dwarfs and other destitutes
receiving monetary help from tb joshua's church He is different from other preachers i n that he does not concentrate on preaching
about money. His preaching concentrates on Sin being the enemy of the believer and humanity as a whole.

Sept. 29, 2007 - The Daily Sun - Like
Zaccheus and Jesus, T.B. Joshua adopts 60 dwarfs
By Jossy Idam (Jidam 14 @yahoo.com) and Tosin Ajirire
Saturday, September 29, 2007 Who
says the incidents recorded in the Bible are not acted out today? Who can also argue that notable preacher, T. B. Joshua is not
following the footsteps of the Messiah who he professes to emulate? Remember the story of Zaccheus, the dwarf who could not access the
crowd to reach the messiah and be blessed.
He devised a means of beating the obstacle and climbed a sycamore tree, at that vantage point the preacher
saw him and he had his piece of the action to get a mention in the annals.
Today, many Zaccheuses abound among us, and TBJ, the Bible teacher does not want them to take the trouble of
trying the palm or breadfruit trees for extra height before he takes them in. Without much ado, a handsome number of them – men and
women are wining and dining with the preacher in his church at Ikotun Egbe, Alimosho LGA of Lagos.A heart for ‘little’ people
The founder and General Overseer of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope B. Joshua seems to
have a special place in his heart for dwarfs.
At his large, impressive headquarter in Ikotun, a suburb in Lagos, the short men and women in stature gather daily to pray, eat,
drink, hear the word of God and be catered for.
The church’s General Overseer, Saturday Sun learnt, has even launched a special ministry to attend to their
needs. When Saturday Sun visited the church last Wednesday, they met a number of them and were told crowd increases daily.Read more...

Sept. 19, 2007 - Nigeria: TB Joshua Seeks
Co-Operation With Other ClericsBy Patience Akpuru, LagosFounder and Pastor of The Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Joshua has extended a hand of fellowship to other
Christian ministers, appealing to them for support instead of criticizing what God was doing through him.
He also urged politicians to engage in politics with the maturity that comes from faith.
Prophet Joshua made this appeal while addressing newsmen in his church building at Ikotun, Lagos, yesterday.
He explained that people were coming around to confirm things they did not understand about him. He urged anyone who has doubts about
him to come and confirm, instead of passing negative comments about him.
He further explained that he did not believe that he could succeed alone. "We need inspired and informed people to work with us.
We cannot succeed alone. Even Jesus knew that he could not succeed alone, that is why he chose the 12 apostles."
On negative comments on him, he said that he believed in persevering faith. "Perseverance must be tested as ministers. We have
come a long way full of persecution. Our endurance and patience are being tested," he explained.Prophet Joshua also called on Nigerians to hope for a better Nigeria. He explained that Nigeria
today is better than the Nigeria we had yesterday. He said that our dream Nigeria is coming slowly because our faith is also slow.Read more...

August 2007 - TB JoshuaA former pastor with the Celestial Church of
Christ, Pastor T. B. Joshua burst unto the scene a few years ago with astonishing live miracle services. But for some reason he was
not accepted by other Pentecostal/Evangelical Nigerian pastors until recently.Among the pastors of the new era, he may be the one that receives
the greatest criticism, and this may be because his ways are different. Joshua gives himself the image of new wine in old skin. Unlike
most of his colleagues, who package themselves as modern and stylish, Pastor Joshua strikes a different image. But currently, this is
changing.First, the name of his church, The Synagogue Church of All Nations is
perceived as not modern. It reminds one of the Old Testament. But one thing that seems to surprise most people about Joshua is that
while most of his colleagues' miracles are reported, those performed by Joshua are presented "live". In other words, most
times, those who have been healed by other pastors come on stage to say, "Before, I had XYZ ailment, but after Pastor ABC prayed
for me, the ailment disappeared." In Joshua's case, the healing process is performed in the full glare of the cameras. This is
one of the reasons his critics aim at him.He puts recording to maximum use. Everything he embarks upon is well
recorded the way Chief Gani Fawehinmi does his things. When a person comes in with any ailment, the ailment is recorded. When the
healing is concluded, the stages of the healing process are shown. This way, he strives to send the message home that the miracles are
real. And remarkably no fees are paid for the miracles he performs - all are absolutely free.This resort to recording of events served a useful purpose when the
Nigerian international footballer, Nwankwo Kanu, denied, after a successful heart operation, that he ever visited T.B. Joshua's
Synagogue for all Nations, saying that as a devout Roman Catholic, he would not visit such a place. Joshua immediately released the
pictures of Kanu's visit and the "case" was closed.For his "immediate" miracles and his "old-fashioned"
ways, Pastor T.B. Joshua comes under attacks from even his colleagues. But despite his old ways, Joshua has found another way of
packaging his work. Many foreigners who heard of him and came to him for healing have become his "campaign" managers. These
white people, after being healed, become the presenters of his programmes on TV. They are also in the choir and hold key positions in
the church. When a prominent personality pays a visit to the church, like former President of Zambia, Frederick Chiluba, Joshua
ensures that such an event is well televised for people to see. With the endorsement of foreigners and prominent figures, Joshua is
telling his critics that if he is not recognised in Nigeria, foreigners recognise him and rate him highly. And indeed there seems not
to be any Nigerian pastor that attracts more white people to his church like Joshua.Joshua also publishes a magazine called Synagogue News, which captures all
issues involving the church for the consumption of the public. The magazine projects the church and tries to counter negative comments
made about the church. Copies of the publication are aggressively marketed by special vendors. In terms of copious wealth, many
believe that he can match the so-called wealthiest Churches in Nigeria today. Moreso, more than any other church, his ministry has
gone international with a telling result.His Church's unique edifice has remained talk of the town and
architecturally rivals the best in the country.
